Two years ago, I moved from Idaho to California. I wanted to seriously downsize my toy collection rather than haul it across two states, so I sold my quarter-scale NECA turtles; I never got around to getting Mikey.
After that, it seemed like a good time to take an extended break from ninja turtles.
In the time since, Flickr has ransomed its users: either pay $50 a month, or all but 1,000 of your photos will be deleted. $50 isn't much to ask, but since they said for years that they were giving us free unlimited storage, I decided I couldn't trust them anymore, so I went through my photostream and deleted 2,000 photos myself. It was painful, but I figured this way I could at least try to keep most of my best and favorite photos.
The point? This thread is now missing probably a hundred or more photos. I have gone through and deleted the dead links and cleaned up the text that referred to them, so it shouldn't be too jarring. (As if anyone is making their way through all ten pages of this nonsense after all this time, ha ha. I guess I did it for myself, more than anything.)
I still miss Flickr, and I still don't really care for Instagram, but I am sure glad it's there, and in the meantime, Astra hipped me to the PostImage site, so I can share photos in forums again.
Meanwhile, the smaller-scale NECA Henson Turtles were reigniting my turtle fandom, and I wanted them somethin' fierce, but I had resigned myself to never owning them due to the crazy prices on the secondary market... but my generous friend Valerobots sold me a set at cost!
(I was also lucky enough to find all the NECA toon turtle sets at Target, but I only kept those for about a week.)
And so, (typically) long story short: I have some new TMNT toy photos to share in this thread for the first time in two years!
The clarity isn't as good as Flickr, but I am grateful nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Mikey is my least favorite of the four figures by quite a wide margin; they went a little too Cowabunga Carl on his expression. He suffers the most from the lack of alternate sculpts. I for one would like a more serious or neutral option for him.
Donatello is my favorite of the four, but man, Raph might be the best; he looks ridiculously realistic.
Anyhoo, it feels good to post in this ridiculous thread after so long, and it's been a hoot to constantly have turtles on the brain again!
